FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 11, 1837. MISSISSIPPI. Express slips from Nashville, of Monday, bring re turns from 36 counties. Prentiss led Claiborne 1188 votes, and Davis 1550. Word led Claiborne 648 votes, and Davis 1010, In these same counties in 1837, the vote stood Claiborne over Prentiss, 1903 over Acee, ... 2289 Gholsoo over Premiss, - 961 over Acee, ... 1248 In the balance of the State to be heard from, the vote stood, for Claiborne, 2969 Gholson,. 2628 Prentiss, - - - 811 Acee, ...... 686 Prentiss (says the Nashville Whig) will therefore have to gain 979 on his vote in July in the remaining 18 or 20 counties to overcome Claiborne's majority ; and 267 to overcome the majorily of the lowest V, B. candidate. His gain in the 36 counties heard from, it will be seen is 3090 over Claiborne, and 2511 over the other candidate. Word will have to gain 1636 on Acee's vote in July to overcome Claiborne's majority; and 932 to overcome the majority of the other V. D. candidate. His gain in lite 30 counties heard from is 2937 over Claiborne, and 2252 over Hie other candidate. Prentiss' election is certain. That of Word is somewhat doubtful. MAINE.

This journal has abandoned its neutrality, and gallantly ranked itself under the Whig banner. It is "a sign" from Old Fairfiold. The Express thus avows its personal preference on the score of the Presidency: "At the head of our columns we place the name of tha veteran patriot Harrison, as we believe him to be emphatically the Whig 'voice of Ohio,' as well as of Fatrlieid, alihnuu;h we candidly conless our individual preference is Hkmrv Clav, the unequalled and tried statesman and patriot, for whom and for whose services to the nation, no return of gratitude can ever be a recompense. On this subject we shall spend our opinion more fully hereafter." CINCINNATI LAW 8CHOOL. Sea the advertisement of this Institution in anothor column. Mr. Walker has established a legal reputation, which renders it unnecessary for us to speak a -word in approbation of his school. ty"A negro second cook on board the steain-bont Pawnee was found locked up in the store-room with a deaf and dumb Gorman girl daughter of one of the deck passengers. A suspicion that he had used violence towards tho poor girl, highly incensed the deck passengers, who soiled the negro the morning after the occurrence, bound his hands behind his back, and cast him into the river. The boat was at once stopped, and unsuccessful efforts made by the captain to succor the drowning wretch. On the arrival of tho boat at St, Louis, but one man was identified as having ben engaged in the transaction. Ho was arrested. The ne gro confessed to a companion, between tho deed of guilt and the consummation of his life, that he had used violence towards his helpless victim. A FALSEHOOD EXPOSED! The Locofoco party in Ohio are inventing all manner of wickedness, in a vain effort to arrest their certain fato. One of the wildest and most shallow schemes just now in full blast, is an attempt of the Statesman and other prints of the like kidney, to make the voters interested in the National ltoad be lieve that the Whig party, with Mr. Clay at its head, is laboring with bitter opposition to defeat the bill appropriating moneys for the continuation of the Road. The facts that Henry Clay is the founder of this grand national thoroughfare, and that Martin Van Bureu lias always opposed it by his votes, and all the circumstances heretofore attending its progress, so positively stamp the stories of the Statesman with falsehood, that we shall revert only to a few circumstances by way of clinching the refutation. ' The bill was passed in the House, on Friday, April 20. The most important motions attending the final action upon it, were as hereafter detailed. Mr. Casey, a Van Buren man, moved tho Previous Question. Mr. Pickens moved to lay the bill on the table. This question had precedence over that made by Mr. Casey, and was intended to obstruct the passage of the bill. Mr. Pickens is a Van Buren man ! He denounced the measure as "par of a tyttem of iwindling and plunder!" Mr. Pickens' motion was decided in the negative 0 y.... lOO aave . Viftj.

Of those who voted for the bill, sixty-three were Whigs, and hut thirty-two Van Buren men two to one ! Of those who voted agaiml the bill, forty-five were Van Buren men, Cambreleng at their head, and but thirty-one were Whigs? On the final passage of the bill, the eleven Whiz members from Ohio were present and voted for the bill, while but four of tha eight Van Buren men were in their seats ! Not only this. We are assured by a letter from Washington that the speech of Mr. Corwin taeed the bill. Wo suhjoin, further, the testimony of the correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot: In the notice I took a few dava arm nf tha admira ble speech made by Mr. Corwin in favor of the Cumberland Road Bill, just before its final passage, I promised to refer again to some of the principal points in his argument. It is to be feared that the play of fancy, the flashes of genuine wit and humor, the burst of impassioned and vigorous eloquence, which so captivated and impressed his numerous auditors, will nev-erbe adiquatcly reported. Mr. Corwin spoke on the spur of the occasion, inspired only by the cause he had long supported, and by the treatment it had received from several rreiitlemen in the cnuraa nf tha rll,t The policy had been denounced as unequal and selfish: and one member (Mr. Pickens, of S. C.) went so far as to stigmatise the bill as "a part of a system of muuiMip mm iniinuer. it was out natural that a man of high feelintrs, who had alwavs voted for tha appropriation for the Road, and who intended to con- '" tor It. should he prompted to Bar aoma. thing in his defence, when thus arraigned in effect as instigating plunder and swindling. Mr. Corwin, accordingly came out and electrified the House with one of the ablest, most interesting, and most successful Bpewnva i cyui uaiem-ii ui, in eiiner urancn oi congress.He took the ground that this Cumberland Road is not a part of any general system of Internal Improvements. It does not depend for its prosecution on the general powers of Congress over such subjects. Its completion will be nothing more than the execution of compacts solemnly made by Congress with three sovereign States, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Congress agreed with them to make a road from the Atlantic states to the Mississippi river; which road, bv the contract, was to pass to and through each of those great eatern states, i na consideration given by them was their surrender of the right to tax the land within their limits for six years after such sale. Mr. Corwin, here illustrated most fully, and in a most interesting and instructive manner the nature of this compact, by copious references to the compacts made on the admission of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, severally to the Union; and to the reports of Mr. Uallntin when Secretary of the Treasury, of Mr. (files of Virginia. and Mr. Randolph, all prior to 1801. It was then understood, he contended, that two per cent on the sales of the public lands in those three states at the price then fixed ($2 per acre,) would ba sufficient to complete tho road. Such was tha belief of Congress and the Stales interested. If thia was not sufficient, and if Congress had themselves red need the value of the fund, bv reducing lha nriea of tha lands, or by giving them awuy, or by making too ex. tensive a road, or by mismanagement of the fund, for example in making the mad twice over through Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. Mr. Corwin maintained, that the State ought not to be prejudiced thereby. Congress is still bound to make the road. That, and nothing short of that must be done, or there is an end to faith, in the promises of government. But, evon if there were no contract binding on Congress; Mr. Corwin maintained that the road was still a proper objeel for the exercise of the constitution! Cower tnmake national improvements. Nothing could e mora luminous or logical than this portion of his argument. Ilia array of authorities, too, were overwhelming, and included some of the highest names of whom tha South can boast. Ho quoted the opinions of Mr. Giles and Mr. Randolph, as well as of Mr. Gallatin, in favor of the commercial importance of the road. To add to the weight of testimony he brought in the authority of John C. Calhoun himself, who, in 1821, while Secretary of War. recommended a anlnn. did system of Internal Improvements, involving an expctiB, as was then estimated, of not less than NINETY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! And of this sys- iviii me continuation oi ints very roan was to be a part! lean give yon no conception of the inimitable effect with which Mr, Corwin pressed these facts upon the gentlemen who had talked of the polit y as selfish and unequal; and especially on those who had so rashly denounced it as "swindling and plunder." If theso epithets are merited then, they must remember mm mcir leaner, mr. wainniin, was one ol the con trivers a chief author of this swindling and nlnn. dcring scheme, I trust Mr. Corwin's speech will soon be published in full. i)t Let us hear no more about this bill having been carried by Van Buren votes '. l7"Whcn Gen. Jackson reluctantly relinauiahnd the reins of Government Into the hands of his pigmy successor, ho made the boast that "he left this great country prosperous and happy." Tho Van Buren edi tors themselves proclaim it far and near, that the country is no longer " prosperous and hnpnv." Now. either Gen. Jackson's boast was a vain and false one, or Mr. Van Buren s Administration has suffered tha huppl-ness and prosperity" of tha country to decay! MISCELLANEOUS.

THE BROKEN PITCHER. MARIETTE. Though La Napoule is but a small place, lying in the oosom oi ineaeu oi iunua, aim u is wen anuwii inrougn-out Provence. It liea in the ever green ahade of lnjih palm trees and dark, pomegrunatea. This alone does not render it famous. Thore, it is said, are to be found grnpos of the richest purple, roses of the sweetest oduui, ninei lee at aiirpaseii.g haauly What a pity thOlLa Napoulo is so emnll that it connot produce purple gropes, sweet roses, sou oeauiitui mamens enougti: Sines the building of La Napoule, every maiden there has become a beauty ; but, without doubt, the little Marietta must have been a wonder of wonders at least, so the chronicler seems to think. She was called, it is true, "little Marietle," still she was not smaller than most children are at the age of seventeen. Tho chronicler of Ls Napoule had good reason to speak of Mariette. I, on the strength of the chronicler, have done likewise. For when Marieitc, with her Mother Manon, returned, after a long residence in Avignon, lo her native place, she turned every thing round not only the houses, but the people and their heads; and not only heads, but even the hearts of those who came in the dangerous neighborhood of her soul-beaming eyes. I can answer for that and such a situation is nut to be jested with. Mother Manon had much belter hnve remained in Avignon. But she had heired, in La Napoule, a smsll proporty, with a vineyard and a sweet Itttie house, in tho shade of a cliff, embosomed in olive-trees and African acacias. Never was a widow more fortunate than she; indeed, in her own opinion, she was as happy a the count of Provence himself, or any of his equoU. 1I0W THE HISCUIEF CAME. Scarcely was Mariette a fortnight in the house among the ulive-trccs and African acacias, when ovary young Napoulesian knew that there lived Mariette, the most beautiful maid of Provence. Did she walk through the place, light and beautiful as a disguised angel, in rustling truck and bright green boddice on her busom a bunch of orange blossom.1 and rose buds flowers snd ribands waving in the green hat which shadowed her brow the aged exclaimed and the young wore mute; while here and there, a door ur window opened, with "good morning," or "good evening, Msricttc," and she nodded smilingly on all aruund. When Murictle entered the church, every heart, (that is, of the young men,) wandored from Heaven every eye from the Virgin whilo her supplicating fingers went astray in the poarls of her bresstltnut. This certainly caused much anxiety to ell, particularly to tho pious ladies; and, as about thia time, the young women of La Napoule had become very piuus, it troubled them tho must. Indeed, they could scarcely endure the thought of it. The entrance of Muriette was more like that of a bride. This gave rise to msny quarrels and bicker-inga lo many tears, locturcs and murmerings. Marriages wore no more spoken of true-love tokens, rings, and ribands were returned parents found fault with their children turmoil end strife went from house to house. It was, indeed, a pity. nnriolle is the cauae ol all '.' said the pious maidens; so said their muthers so said their fsthors and even, at last, said the young men. But Mariette, strong in her modesty and innocence as tho brilliant rod of the bursting ruee-pud among ih dark-green leaves, knew nothing of these misfortunes, and rumnincd kind to all. Thia moved lirat the young men, and they said, "whv trouble the kind, harmleee girl 1 She is innocent.' Then the fathers repealed it t the mothers next; and, last, even the pioua maidens for who could apeak to Mariette without loving herl Before six months had paaaed, every one had spoken to her, and every one loved her. Bhe knew not, however, how much ahe waa beloved, and could not conceive how alio could be so hated. The modest violet, crouched among 'ho long, dark grass, cares not lor its own worth. Now, every one wished to atone for their injustice to Msrriette. Pity was soon changed to affection. Mariette was greeted with former kindness was sweetly smiled upon, snd pressed lo join in every sport and dance. or WICSTO COM. But to every one is not granted the lender grace of pity. Some heurto are as hard as Pharaoh'a; owing, no doubt, either to tho natural wickedness of man since the fall, or the baptismal rile of the sinner not being Kerfortned in pruper litne. A striking esainple of Ihie ard hcartedncss was young Cultn, the richest farmer in La Napoule, who could acarccly, in one day, wulk through hia vineyards, ulivo-yards snd citron and poine-granato fields 1 He, however, bed shown tbe inherent sin of hia nature having lived until his twenty-seventh yesr without over ssking, why msidens were created. Every one, howevor, especially the young ladies of a certain age, willingly forgave him hiaeina, and eateeined Colin aa tho beat young man under tho aun. His tine form, his clear open countenance, hia merry glance and emile, obtained absolution for him of hearts too generous and forgiving to be oiherwise than pleaaed. The verdict however ol such a jury is not lo bo relied on. Of all, old and young in Napoule, who had forgiven Mariette, and received her in their heane, Colin alone regarded the poor girl without pity. II her name even waa mentioned, Colin became mute as a fish did ha meet her in the street, he turned red and white with anger, and cast invidious looks upon her. if the young people sssembled, at evening on the beach, under the mine of the old castle, to play, to dance, or to make the old walla re-echo with iheir merry songs, Culin waa not ahaent. Hut, as soon ss Mariotto cnine, Ihe cunning youth wss dumb, snd he sang no more of the joys oflile. This was a pity fur no voice waa sweeter than Colin's, and his songs were inexhasutible. All were delighted to sue Culin, and he was merry with all. Ho had, we have said before, a roguish glsnce, which Ihe maidens loved and feared and, when he smiled, oh, a painter should have been near. However, the often-slighted Mariette hardly saw him whether he laughed or not, ii was the same to her. hue csred not for his roguish glance; and, if he began to relsto a story, she nodded to her neighbors, snd drow away firac Poter, than l'aul, then enutheri one laughed and chatted, until Culin wns no longer attended to, Hhe touched him to the quick; he olten broke off in Ihe midst of a story, snd walked sullenly away. Revenge ia aweel. The beautitul daughter of Manon might then have triumphed. For this, huwever, Mariette waa much loo good her heart tuo pure. When he was silent, sorrow filled her bosom; and when he wss sad, she smiled no more. H he went sway, she could rcmsin nolongor; and she mired home to weep tesrs of repentance far more bitter than those of ihe Magdslcn, though her faults wore less. tub nrvuia. The prescherof Ls Napoule, ihe good Father Jerome, me, was snold nisn of seventy years, poaeeaainr all the virtues olaaatnti his only Aiding, and llnil the effect of age, waa dcaluesa. Nevertheless, he preached lo his children, who wore always willing to listen lo him. It IS true, he never preached but on two themes, which comprised, in It's opinion, the essence of religion "Little children, love ono another," or "children, the Providence of (tod is great." Indeed, so far does faith depend upon Ue snd hope, that, wiili these two dispositions, man might be truly blessed. The children loved each other truly, and hoped In the Providence of God. Only Colin, with aingular pervorsenees, gave no heed to hissdvioe; even when he appoared benevolent, he concealed evil designs. Kvorv year tho people of La Napoule repaired to the fnir at Itonco. Here they mado merry, snd those who hnd money made purchases. You may bo sure, that, among those who went lo the lair, were Mariette and Mother Manon. Colin, loo-buying dainties and trinkets for all tha girlai but, for Mariette, he spent not a sous, Evon though ha follow ed her at every step, he spoke not lo her, and she spoke not to him. It waa easily to be seen thai he was meditating some mischief. Mother Manon was standing before a stall, when she exclaimed, "Oh, Mariette! see thsl beautiful pitcher! A queen might not be ashamed to put it to her lips! Only aee; Ihe hasdle is of brilliant gold, snd the flowers sre not more beautiful in our garden. They might have boon painted in the midst of Paradise! Only see, Mariette, how templing the apple looks on thai tree; Adam cannot withstand Ihe beautiful Eve, who is presenting it to him. See tow lovingly the latnba are sporting with ilia tigers and ihe snow-white dove, with his gold and green neck,, flies before the hawk, as if she invited him to address her." Marietta was lost in admiration. She could not be sstislied with seeing. "Had I so fine a pitcher, mother," said she, "it is much too beautiful to drink out of, I would put flowers in it, and then sit gazing upon them, thinking I was in Parsdise. Though we are in the morket of Bence, when I look at the pitcher, I almost fsncy mysolfin Paradise!" So spoke Mariotte, and called her young; friends to come and look ot the pitcher. Soon, all La Napoule were gnzing in mute admiration at Ihe exquisite piece of procolain. Timidly they asked of the merchsnt, "What is ihe price sir?" "Why, between friends, I wifl lei you have it for a hundred livres." All were silent ; and, one by one walked away. When all had retired, Colin come alily to the stall, laid down the hundred livres, put the pitcher in a box filled with moss, and took it away. When about bnlf-woy home, he met old Jacnues. the squire's sorvtnt. who waa cominir from lha finl.l. tin. Jacques woeavery good sort of a man, but terribly slupid. ll wilt giveyou a pot of ale, Jacques,' said Colin, 'If ruu wm who ibis dux to manon's nouse, and leave it; and, when they ask you who gave you the box, say a airanger. But do not mention my name, on Ihe point of my eternal soger.' r Jacques ttok the money for his ale. with the bo, and proceeded to the house among the olive-trees and African acacias. the titvor. Before Jscoies had none manv nacea. he waa mat hv hia master, Sqiire Hauptmartin, who called out ney, jacquei! what have vou there 7' 'A box for Mistress Manon t but I dnra not tell vou from whom.' Why noli' Oh, becaust Colin would never forgive me.' 'Ha I ii is a ine thing vou can keep so still : but it is now late givt me the box; 1 am going to Mistress Manon's; I will ionvev it, and not mention that it comes from Colin, it will spare vou some sieos. and oive me a good excuse.' Jacques immediately acceded to bis msster's proposition never in his life having dreamed of opposing him. The squire carried tho box to his room; and op-proached the light with the greatest curiosity. On the cover was written, with red chalk. 'For the lovely and ueiuvcu mnnetie.' oquire naupimariiii was well aware thai this was some piece of roguery Colin intended; thereupon he very carefully opened the box, lo see if there wss not sume rot or mouse concealed in it; but nothing could exceed his surprise when he beheld the same beautiful pitcher that had attracted so much notice at the fair. And this from Colin; his hoort died within him. But Squire Hauptmartin was a man well versed in wrung and in right; he knew well the deceit and treachery of men's hesris. He saw clearly thai Colin wished to bring Mariette in ttoublo with this pitcher. It might appear as s present from some favorite lover in tho city; aid, coming in such a manner, would oblige all the gool people to slight her. Thereupon Squire liaupttuortti kindly determined to bring thie treachery lo naught, ly becoming himself the donor of this beautiful pitcher Besides, he loved Mariette. and wishsd to see if she aboyed the command of good father Jerome, 'Little ohbdrcn, love one anoiher.' Tobosure, Squire Hnuptmo'iin was a child of filry years old, and Marietta had mads up her mind that the text did not apply to him. ()s the contrary, Mother Manon found the squire to be a iidicious, fine child, with gold and reputaiiun. snd first in Lo Napoule; and, when he spoke of mar- nage, ins ircmoung msneite leu ine room; out Mother Munnn roinained silting. fearinff nothing from the toll. decent man. I'liourh we say of Colin, that, in his whole person. there was no fault, still the squire had the sdvamage of him in two things namely, in years, and in a great, great nose. Tins nose the squire always bore before im, like s herald to announce his coming. He was a true eieptium oentnd into trunk oi a noaa. With thia famous pruboscis, his good intentions, and the pitcher, he repaired the next morning to the house among the olive-trees snd African scaciaa. 'For Ihe beautiful Marietta!' said he, 'It is not too aoarly lor me. V"" i J- -.-i-- .-,J-r , r.r nm nieonariiiing Mariette, tola' ll and my heart at your feet,' Manon and Mariotte were delighted and astonished when they saw Ihe pitcher. Manon's eyes sparkled with joy; but Marietta's countenance fell, and she replied1 can accept neithor your pitcher nor your heart.' Tlten rushed the bluou to Mother Manon's pale cheek, and she cried out 'But I accept both heart snd pitcher. Oh, you fool! how long will you spoil your awn good luck! Hey! snd what do you want! Do you expect the count of Pro-fence lo come and ask you in marriage, that you refuaa Ihe Squire of La Napoule) I know much better than you what ia for your own good. Squire, I admire your worth; depend upon me, 1 shell soon csll youson-in-law.' Msrietie went out, weeping bitterly, and she hated ihe pitcher from the bottom of her hesrt. Itiiwever, the squire, clapping his finger on hia nose, said, 'Don't trouble yoursoll, .Mother Manon; the dove will yield as soon ss she knows me s Utile better. I am not raah. I understand women well; and, before three months shall have paaaed, I will find the way into Ma rielle's heart.' the rLowuta. During this three months, Msrielte's pilchor gave her s world of trouble snd vexation. For a forlniglii nothing els was spoken of in Ls Napoule but Ihe pitcher; and every one said, "It is a present from the Squire, and the wedding is soon to lake place." But Marietta had declared to nor friends thai she would sooner lie down in the ses than wed with Squire Hauptmartin. Tha girls however, winked to each other, and said, "How happily she will rest in tha shade of his nose!" This was her first vexation. Then Manon had made ihe crnel rule that Mariette should go every dsy lo the spring, rinse ths pitcher, snd fill it with fresh flowers. Thus she hoped lo win Marietta's heart lo the donor but il only increased her hatred lo gill and giver; and the duly at ihe spring was only a punishment. Second vexsiton. But, iwice a week, site went to the spring, she found on the rock, a bouquet of the most beautiful flowers, arranged with the grealeat taste, jusi the sise of the pit-chert snd round the stem was rulled a paper, bearing these words, "Beloved Mariette!" Now, .Marietta was, not a strong believer in enchanters or fairieai aha naturally supposed thai the flowers and poper came from Squire Hauptmartin and she would nut even smell them, lest alto should encounter the breath of the old man. She lore lha paper lo shreds, but kept lha flowers, as they were much handsomer Ihsn ihoaa ahe could find in the fields. In the moan lime the squire was unremitting in his attentions his love waa as great, in ita kind, as wss his nose. Third veistinn.

Mariette was, like soma few of hor sex, somewhat curious. She guessed every young man in La Napoule, but none were ever discovered. She watched, iste and early; bul ahe watched in vain. Still twice a week, there lay the flowers, and the paper, breathing the soil aigh, "Beloved Marietta." This was enough lo excile lha cunueity of the most indiflerent but, nasaiislied ouriosity gives pain. Foutth vexation. mscuusr iron Miscnitr.

So thought Manon's daughter; but she remained standing. Now she waa certain to look full in the face of the flower-sender.

She tore from her hat the violet riband, and, passing it softly around his arm, tied him to the tree When he awakes how astonished will he be! Who will aalisfy his curiosity aa to the author of this cunning trick 1 This he could never guess so much the better; it served him right. Msrietie still waa merciful toward him. No sooner wss her work finished, thsn she seemed to repent. Her bosom beaved; and, I believe, teare came in her eyes. She was a long time returning home. She lingered near ine enn, until tne voice ol Mother Manon called her away. THE IIATBAM0. Who would believe it! That same day Colin prsc-tieed a new trick. He wished to shame Msrietie, openly. She little thought that the whole of La Napoule would recognise her violet hatband. He wore it on his hst snowing it, oeiore tne whole world, as a trophy; and every one cried out, 'Ho hoo it from Mariette;' and every maiden cried, 'The villain!' and every young man turned contemptuously fromfher, and said, 'The jade!' 'How! Mother Manon,' exclaimed Squire Hauptmartin, and he spoke so loud that hia nose echoed his words, 'how do you suffer this, my bride, lo present the young farmor, Colin, with her hatband! Il ia high lime thai our nuptials be celebrated. It is sll settled, snd I have s right to speak" 'You have aright,' snswered Mother Manon; when the enso so stands, the wedding should immediately lake place. Certainly, il is settled all is settled.' 'But, Mother Msnon, your daughter will never give her consent.' 'Never mind, squire, do you get ready for Ihe wedding.''But she will not even look favorably upon me; and if I sit down beside her, she springs sway like a wild doer. 'Squire, only prepare for the wedding, and if Mariette sins, we will take her by aurprise. We will go lo Fa ther Jerome esrlyon Monday morning, and instruct him in his part of the duty.

The squire was well pleased wilh this arrangement. Marietle dreamed not of the bliss thst wss in iore for her. She thought only of Colin's treachery. She declared to hor companions snd her mother, thst Colin must have fuund the hatband. 'I did not give il to him; you know he hales me, and he only does this to vex me.'

'Why do you wear my riband so openly, Colin V said Marietle, and ahe set the pitcher down on the rock '1 did not give it lo you. 'You did not give it to me, Mariette !' and he wss pale wilh anger. Mariette, ashamed of her conduct, cast down her eves snd said, after a pause, 'Well, I did giva it to you, but you ahould not wear it so openly. Give it back to me!' 'beloved Mariette! let me keep it!' 'No.' He could scarcely believe her. First he looked upward wilh a aigh, then mournuflly on Msrietie, who, motionless end mute, stood beside Ihe spring, her eyes csst down, her arms banging powerless by her side. He wound the riband about ihe stalks of the flowers snd threw them toward ihe rock.

Mariette decked out in her Sunday's best, repaired perfectly unsuspicious to the good prescher's house. In Ihe way she met Colin, who greeted her cordially, snd when eta told bim whither she was carrying tho crown, he said, 'I, too, am going there,J must carry the prescher his fees.' As they were walking silently together he took her hsnd, both trembling ss if they had committed some groat crime. 'Havo you forgiven me!' whispered Colin. 'Ah!

'Colin !' aigked ahe. in tho church were many parishioners; and they, with the greatest astonishment, were witnesses to the mar. riage of Colin and Mariette. Tbey ran from tbe church, right and left, through the whole of La Napoule, and cried, "Colin and Marietta are married.' Father Jerome, delighted thai ba had performed his pari of Ihe trick so well, and hsd met wilk so little opposition, led the pair back lo hia house. tltP Or THIS KXTRAORDIltAET STOBT.

' Thia is the work of thai villain Colin,' was her first thought.

His gain in the 36 counties heard from, it will be seen is 3090 over Claiborne, and 2511 over the other candidate.

On this subject we shall spend our opinion more fully hereafter." CINCINNATI LAW 8CHOOL. Sea the advertisement of this Institution in anothor column. Mr. Walker has established a legal reputation, which renders it unnecessary for us to speak a -word in approbation of his school. ty"A negro second cook on board the steain-bont Pawnee was found locked up in the store-room with a deaf and dumb Gorman girl daughter of one of the deck passengers. A suspicion that he had used violence towards tho poor girl, highly incensed the deck passengers, who soiled the negro the morning after the occurrence, bound his hands behind his back, and cast him into the river. The boat was at once stopped, and unsuccessful efforts made by the captain to succor the drowning wretch. On the arrival of tho boat at St, Louis, but one man was identified as having ben engaged in the transaction. Ho was arrested. The ne gro confessed to a companion, between tho deed of guilt and the consummation of his life, that he had used violence towards his helpless victim. A FALSEHOOD EXPOSED! The Locofoco party in Ohio are inventing all manner of wickedness, in a vain effort to arrest their certain fato. One of the wildest and most shallow schemes just now in full blast, is an attempt of the Statesman and other prints of the like kidney, to make the voters interested in the National ltoad be lieve that the Whig party, with Mr. Clay at its head, is laboring with bitter opposition to defeat the bill appropriating moneys for the continuation of the Road. The facts that Henry Clay is the founder of this grand national thoroughfare, and that Martin Van Bureu lias always opposed it by his votes, and all the circumstances heretofore attending its progress, so positively stamp the stories of the Statesman with falsehood, that we shall revert only to a few circumstances by way of clinching the refutation. ' The bill was passed in the House, on Friday, April 20. The most important motions attending the final action upon it, were as hereafter detailed. Mr. Casey, a Van Buren man, moved tho Previous Question. Mr. Pickens moved to lay the bill on the table. This question had precedence over that made by Mr. Casey, and was intended to obstruct the passage of the bill. Mr. Pickens is a Van Buren man ! He denounced the measure as "par of a tyttem of iwindling and plunder!" Mr. Pickens' motion was decided in the negative 0 y.... lOO aave . Viftj.

Of those who voted for the bill, sixty-three were Whigs, and hut thirty-two Van Buren men two to one ! Of those who voted agaiml the bill, forty-five were Van Buren men, Cambreleng at their head, and but thirty-one were Whigs? On the final passage of the bill, the eleven Whiz members from Ohio were present and voted for the bill, while but four of tha eight Van Buren men were in their seats ! Not only this. We are assured by a letter from Washington that the speech of Mr. Corwin taeed the bill. Wo suhjoin, further, the testimony of the correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot: In the notice I took a few dava arm nf tha admira ble speech made by Mr. Corwin in favor of the Cumberland Road Bill, just before its final passage, I promised to refer again to some of the principal points in his argument. It is to be feared that the play of fancy, the flashes of genuine wit and humor, the burst of impassioned and vigorous eloquence, which so captivated and impressed his numerous auditors, will nev-erbe adiquatcly reported. Mr. Corwin spoke on the spur of the occasion, inspired only by the cause he had long supported, and by the treatment it had received from several rreiitlemen in the cnuraa nf tha rll,t The policy had been denounced as unequal and selfish: and one member (Mr. Pickens, of S. C.) went so far as to stigmatise the bill as "a part of a system of muuiMip mm iniinuer. it was out natural that a man of high feelintrs, who had alwavs voted for tha appropriation for the Road, and who intended to con- '" tor It. should he prompted to Bar aoma. thing in his defence, when thus arraigned in effect as instigating plunder and swindling. Mr. Corwin, accordingly came out and electrified the House with one of the ablest, most interesting, and most successful Bpewnva i cyui uaiem-ii ui, in eiiner urancn oi congress.He took the ground that this Cumberland Road is not a part of any general system of Internal Improvements. It does not depend for its prosecution on the general powers of Congress over such subjects. Its completion will be nothing more than the execution of compacts solemnly made by Congress with three sovereign States, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Congress agreed with them to make a road from the Atlantic states to the Mississippi river; which road, bv the contract, was to pass to and through each of those great eatern states, i na consideration given by them was their surrender of the right to tax the land within their limits for six years after such sale. Mr. Corwin, here illustrated most fully, and in a most interesting and instructive manner the nature of this compact, by copious references to the compacts made on the admission of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, severally to the Union; and to the reports of Mr. Uallntin when Secretary of the Treasury, of Mr. (files of Virginia. and Mr. Randolph, all prior to 1801. It was then understood, he contended, that two per cent on the sales of the public lands in those three states at the price then fixed ($2 per acre,) would ba sufficient to complete tho road. Such was tha belief of Congress and the Stales interested. If thia was not sufficient, and if Congress had themselves red need the value of the fund, bv reducing lha nriea of tha lands, or by giving them awuy, or by making too ex. tensive a road, or by mismanagement of the fund, for example in making the mad twice over through Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. Mr. Corwin maintained, that the State ought not to be prejudiced thereby. Congress is still bound to make the road. That, and nothing short of that must be done, or there is an end to faith, in the promises of government. But, evon if there were no contract binding on Congress; Mr. Corwin maintained that the road was still a proper objeel for the exercise of the constitution! Cower tnmake national improvements. Nothing could e mora luminous or logical than this portion of his argument. Ilia array of authorities, too, were overwhelming, and included some of the highest names of whom tha South can boast. Ho quoted the opinions of Mr. Giles and Mr. Randolph, as well as of Mr. Gallatin, in favor of the commercial importance of the road. To add to the weight of testimony he brought in the authority of John C. Calhoun himself, who, in 1821, while Secretary of War. recommended a anlnn. did system of Internal Improvements, involving an expctiB, as was then estimated, of not less than NINETY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! And of this sys- iviii me continuation oi ints very roan was to be a part! lean give yon no conception of the inimitable effect with which Mr, Corwin pressed these facts upon the gentlemen who had talked of the polit y as selfish and unequal; and especially on those who had so rashly denounced it as "swindling and plunder." If theso epithets are merited then, they must remember mm mcir leaner, mr. wainniin, was one ol the con trivers a chief author of this swindling and nlnn. dcring scheme, I trust Mr. Corwin's speech will soon be published in full. i)t Let us hear no more about this bill having been carried by Van Buren votes '. l7"Whcn Gen.

THE BROKEN PITCHER. MARIETTE. Though La Napoule is but a small place, lying in the oosom oi ineaeu oi iunua, aim u is wen anuwii inrougn-out Provence. It liea in the ever green ahade of lnjih palm trees and dark, pomegrunatea. This alone does not render it famous. Thore, it is said, are to be found grnpos of the richest purple, roses of the sweetest oduui, ninei lee at aiirpaseii.g haauly What a pity thOlLa Napoulo is so emnll that it connot produce purple gropes, sweet roses, sou oeauiitui mamens enougti: Sines the building of La Napoule, every maiden there has become a beauty ; but, without doubt, the little Marietta must have been a wonder of wonders at least, so the chronicler seems to think. She was called, it is true, "little Marietle," still she was not smaller than most children are at the age of seventeen. Tho chronicler of Ls Napoule had good reason to speak of Mariette. I, on the strength of the chronicler, have done likewise. For when Marieitc, with her Mother Manon, returned, after a long residence in Avignon, lo her native place, she turned every thing round not only the houses, but the people and their heads; and not only heads, but even the hearts of those who came in the dangerous neighborhood of her soul-beaming eyes. I can answer for that and such a situation is nut to be jested with. Mother Manon had much belter hnve remained in Avignon. But she had heired, in La Napoule, a smsll proporty, with a vineyard and a sweet Itttie house, in tho shade of a cliff, embosomed in olive-trees and African acacias. Never was a widow more fortunate than she; indeed, in her own opinion, she was as happy a the count of Provence himself, or any of his equoU. 1I0W THE HISCUIEF CAME. Scarcely was Mariette a fortnight in the house among the ulive-trccs and African acacias, when ovary young Napoulesian knew that there lived Mariette, the most beautiful maid of Provence. Did she walk through the place, light and beautiful as a disguised angel, in rustling truck and bright green boddice on her busom a bunch of orange blossom.1 and rose buds flowers snd ribands waving in the green hat which shadowed her brow the aged exclaimed and the young wore mute; while here and there, a door ur window opened, with "good morning," or "good evening, Msricttc," and she nodded smilingly on all aruund. When Murictle entered the church, every heart, (that is, of the young men,) wandored from Heaven every eye from the Virgin whilo her supplicating fingers went astray in the poarls of her bresstltnut. This certainly caused much anxiety to ell, particularly to tho pious ladies; and, as about thia time, the young women of La Napoule had become very piuus, it troubled them tho must. Indeed, they could scarcely endure the thought of it. The entrance of Muriette was more like that of a bride. This gave rise to msny quarrels and bicker-inga lo many tears, locturcs and murmerings. Marriages wore no more spoken of true-love tokens, rings, and ribands were returned parents found fault with their children turmoil end strife went from house to house. It was, indeed, a pity. nnriolle is the cauae ol all '.' said the pious maidens; so said their muthers so said their fsthors and even, at last, said the young men. But Mariette, strong in her modesty and innocence as tho brilliant rod of the bursting ruee-pud among ih dark-green leaves, knew nothing of these misfortunes, and rumnincd kind to all. Thia moved lirat the young men, and they said, "whv trouble the kind, harmleee girl 1 She is innocent.' Then the fathers repealed it t the mothers next; and, last, even the pioua maidens for who could apeak to Mariette without loving herl Before six months had paaaed, every one had spoken to her, and every one loved her. Bhe knew not, however, how much ahe waa beloved, and could not conceive how alio could be so hated. The modest violet, crouched among 'ho long, dark grass, cares not lor its own worth. Now, every one wished to atone for their injustice to Msrriette. Pity was soon changed to affection. Mariette was greeted with former kindness was sweetly smiled upon, snd pressed lo join in every sport and dance. or WICSTO COM. But to every one is not granted the lender grace of pity. Some heurto are as hard as Pharaoh'a; owing, no doubt, either to tho natural wickedness of man since the fall, or the baptismal rile of the sinner not being Kerfortned in pruper litne. A striking esainple of Ihie ard hcartedncss was young Cultn, the richest farmer in La Napoule, who could acarccly, in one day, wulk through hia vineyards, ulivo-yards snd citron and poine-granato fields 1 He, however, bed shown tbe inherent sin of hia nature having lived until his twenty-seventh yesr without over ssking, why msidens were created. Every one, howevor, especially the young ladies of a certain age, willingly forgave him hiaeina, and eateeined Colin aa tho beat young man under tho aun. His tine form, his clear open countenance, hia merry glance and emile, obtained absolution for him of hearts too generous and forgiving to be oiherwise than pleaaed. The verdict however ol such a jury is not lo bo relied on. Of all, old and young in Napoule, who had forgiven Mariette, and received her in their heane, Colin alone regarded the poor girl without pity. II her name even waa mentioned, Colin became mute as a fish did ha meet her in the street, he turned red and white with anger, and cast invidious looks upon her. if the young people sssembled, at evening on the beach, under the mine of the old castle, to play, to dance, or to make the old walla re-echo with iheir merry songs, Culin waa not ahaent. Hut, as soon ss Mariotto cnine, Ihe cunning youth wss dumb, snd he sang no more of the joys oflile. This was a pity fur no voice waa sweeter than Colin's, and his songs were inexhasutible. All were delighted to sue Culin, and he was merry with all. Ho had, we have said before, a roguish glsnce, which Ihe maidens loved and feared and, when he smiled, oh, a painter should have been near. However, the often-slighted Mariette hardly saw him whether he laughed or not, ii was the same to her. hue csred not for his roguish glance; and, if he began to relsto a story, she nodded to her neighbors, snd drow away firac Poter, than l'aul, then enutheri one laughed and chatted, until Culin wns no longer attended to, Hhe touched him to the quick; he olten broke off in Ihe midst of a story, snd walked sullenly away. Revenge ia aweel. The beautitul daughter of Manon might then have triumphed. For this, huwever, Mariette waa much loo good her heart tuo pure. When he was silent, sorrow filled her bosom; and when he wss sad, she smiled no more. H he went sway, she could rcmsin nolongor; and she mired home to weep tesrs of repentance far more bitter than those of ihe Magdslcn, though her faults wore less. tub nrvuia. The prescherof Ls Napoule, ihe good Father Jerome, me, was snold nisn of seventy years, poaeeaainr all the virtues olaaatnti his only Aiding, and llnil the effect of age, waa dcaluesa. Nevertheless, he preached lo his children, who wore always willing to listen lo him. It IS true, he never preached but on two themes, which comprised, in It's opinion, the essence of religion "Little children, love ono another," or "children, the Providence of (tod is great." Indeed, so far does faith depend upon Ue snd hope, that, wiili these two dispositions, man might be truly blessed. The children loved each other truly, and hoped In the Providence of God. Only Colin, with aingular pervorsenees, gave no heed to hissdvioe; even when he appoared benevolent, he concealed evil designs. Kvorv year tho people of La Napoule repaired to the fnir at Itonco. Here they mado merry, snd those who hnd money made purchases. You may bo sure, that, among those who went lo the lair, were Mariette and Mother Manon. Colin, loo-buying dainties and trinkets for all tha girlai but, for Mariette, he spent not a sous, Evon though ha follow ed her at every step, he spoke not lo her, and she spoke not to him. It waa easily to be seen thai he was meditating some mischief. Mother Manon was standing before a stall, when she exclaimed, "Oh, Mariette! see thsl beautiful pitcher! A queen might not be ashamed to put it to her lips! Only aee; Ihe hasdle is of brilliant gold, snd the flowers sre not more beautiful in our garden. They might have boon painted in the midst of Paradise! Only see, Mariette, how templing the apple looks on thai tree; Adam cannot withstand Ihe beautiful Eve, who is presenting it to him. See tow lovingly the latnba are sporting with ilia tigers and ihe snow-white dove, with his gold and green neck,, flies before the hawk, as if she invited him to address her." Marietta was lost in admiration. She could not be sstislied with seeing. "Had I so fine a pitcher, mother," said she, "it is much too beautiful to drink out of, I would put flowers in it, and then sit gazing upon them, thinking I was in Parsdise. Though we are in the morket of Bence, when I look at the pitcher, I almost fsncy mysolfin Paradise!" So spoke Mariotte, and called her young; friends to come and look ot the pitcher. Soon, all La Napoule were gnzing in mute admiration at Ihe exquisite piece of procolain. Timidly they asked of the merchsnt, "What is ihe price sir?" "Why, between friends, I wifl lei you have it for a hundred livres." All were silent ; and, one by one walked away. When all had retired, Colin come alily to the stall, laid down the hundred livres, put the pitcher in a box filled with moss, and took it away. When about bnlf-woy home, he met old Jacnues. the squire's sorvtnt. who waa cominir from lha finl.l. tin. Jacques woeavery good sort of a man, but terribly slupid. ll wilt giveyou a pot of ale, Jacques,' said Colin, 'If ruu wm who ibis dux to manon's nouse, and leave it; and, when they ask you who gave you the box, say a airanger. But do not mention my name, on Ihe point of my eternal soger.' r Jacques ttok the money for his ale. with the bo, and proceeded to the house among the olive-trees and African acacias. the titvor. Before Jscoies had none manv nacea. he waa mat hv hia master, Sqiire Hauptmartin, who called out ney, jacquei! what have vou there 7' 'A box for Mistress Manon t but I dnra not tell vou from whom.' Why noli' Oh, becaust Colin would never forgive me.' 'Ha I ii is a ine thing vou can keep so still : but it is now late givt me the box; 1 am going to Mistress Manon's; I will ionvev it, and not mention that it comes from Colin, it will spare vou some sieos. and oive me a good excuse.' Jacques immediately acceded to bis msster's proposition never in his life having dreamed of opposing him. The squire carried tho box to his room; and op-proached the light with the greatest curiosity. On the cover was written, with red chalk. 'For the lovely and ueiuvcu mnnetie.' oquire naupimariiii was well aware thai this was some piece of roguery Colin intended; thereupon he very carefully opened the box, lo see if there wss not sume rot or mouse concealed in it; but nothing could exceed his surprise when he beheld the same beautiful pitcher that had attracted so much notice at the fair. And this from Colin; his hoort died within him. But Squire Hauptmartin was a man well versed in wrung and in right; he knew well the deceit and treachery of men's hesris. He saw clearly thai Colin wished to bring Mariette in ttoublo with this pitcher. It might appear as s present from some favorite lover in tho city; aid, coming in such a manner, would oblige all the gool people to slight her. Thereupon Squire liaupttuortti kindly determined to bring thie treachery lo naught, ly becoming himself the donor of this beautiful pitcher Besides, he loved Mariette. and wishsd to see if she aboyed the command of good father Jerome, 'Little ohbdrcn, love one anoiher.' Tobosure, Squire Hnuptmo'iin was a child of filry years old, and Marietta had mads up her mind that the text did not apply to him. ()s the contrary, Mother Manon found the squire to be a iidicious, fine child, with gold and reputaiiun. snd first in Lo Napoule; and, when he spoke of mar- nage, ins ircmoung msneite leu ine room; out Mother Munnn roinained silting. fearinff nothing from the toll. decent man. I'liourh we say of Colin, that, in his whole person. there was no fault, still the squire had the sdvamage of him in two things namely, in years, and in a great, great nose. Tins nose the squire always bore before im, like s herald to announce his coming. He was a true eieptium oentnd into trunk oi a noaa. With thia famous pruboscis, his good intentions, and the pitcher, he repaired the next morning to the house among the olive-trees snd African scaciaa. 'For Ihe beautiful Marietta!' said he, 'It is not too aoarly lor me. V"" i J- -.-i-- .-,J-r , r.r nm nieonariiiing Mariette, tola' ll and my heart at your feet,' Manon and Mariotte were delighted and astonished when they saw Ihe pitcher. Manon's eyes sparkled with joy; but Marietta's countenance fell, and she replied1 can accept neithor your pitcher nor your heart.' Tlten rushed the bluou to Mother Manon's pale cheek, and she cried out 'But I accept both heart snd pitcher. Oh, you fool! how long will you spoil your awn good luck! Hey! snd what do you want!

Itiiwever, the squire, clapping his finger on hia nose, said, 'Don't trouble yoursoll, .Mother Manon; the dove will yield as soon ss she knows me s Utile better. I am not raah. I understand women well; and, before three months shall have paaaed, I will find the way into Ma rielle's heart.' the rLowuta. During this three months, Msrielte's pilchor gave her s world of trouble snd vexation. For a forlniglii nothing els was spoken of in Ls Napoule but Ihe pitcher; and every one said, "It is a present from the Squire, and the wedding is soon to lake place." But Marietta had declared to nor friends thai she would sooner lie down in the ses than wed with Squire Hauptmartin. Tha girls however, winked to each other, and said, "How happily she will rest in tha shade of his nose!" This was her first vexation. Then Manon had made ihe crnel rule that Mariette should go every dsy lo the spring, rinse ths pitcher, snd fill it with fresh flowers. Thus she hoped lo win Marietta's heart lo the donor but il only increased her hatred lo gill and giver; and the duly at ihe spring was only a punishment. Second vexsiton. But, iwice a week, site went to the spring, she found on the rock, a bouquet of the most beautiful flowers, arranged with the grealeat taste, jusi the sise of the pit-chert snd round the stem was rulled a paper, bearing these words, "Beloved Mariette!" Now, .Marietta was, not a strong believer in enchanters or fairieai aha naturally supposed thai the flowers and poper came from Squire Hauptmartin and she would nut even smell them, lest alto should encounter the breath of the old man. She lore lha paper lo shreds, but kept lha flowers, as they were much handsomer Ihsn ihoaa ahe could find in the fields.

She little thought that the whole of La Napoule would recognise her violet hatband. He wore it on his hst snowing it, oeiore tne whole world, as a trophy; and every one cried out, 'Ho hoo it from Mariette;' and every maiden cried, 'The villain!' and every young man turned contemptuously fromfher, and said, 'The jade!' 'How! Mother Manon,' exclaimed Squire Hauptmartin, and he spoke so loud that hia nose echoed his words, 'how do you suffer this, my bride, lo present the young farmor, Colin, with her hatband! Il ia high lime thai our nuptials be celebrated.

'But, Mother Msnon, your daughter will never give her consent.' 'Never mind, squire, do you get ready for Ihe wedding.''But she will not even look favorably upon me; and if I sit down beside her, she springs sway like a wild doer. 'Squire, only prepare for the wedding, and if Mariette sins, we will take her by aurprise. We will go lo Fa ther Jerome esrlyon Monday morning, and instruct him in his part of the duty.

She declared to hor companions snd her mother, thst Colin must have fuund the hatband. 'I did not give il to him; you know he hales me, and he only does this to vex me.'

They both repaired to Father Jerome and beggedhim lo instruct Mariette in her dutv to her Mother, and advise her not to oppose Ihe wedding. The old man promised to dowhstthey desired. thougbhe onlr under stood half of what' they shouted in his ear. Marietle took the pieces of the broken oitoher to her chamber, and it seemed as if the Paradise that waa lost in it, had passed into her breast. When Monday morning came. Mother Manon said to her daughter, 'dress yourself well and curry 'this myrtlo crown to Father Jerome, he wants il for a bride." Mariette decked out in her Sunday's best, repaired perfectly unsuspicious to the good prescher's house. In Ihe way she met Colin, who greeted her cordially, snd when eta told bim whither she was carrying tho crown, he said, 'I, too, am going there,J must carry the prescher his fees.' As they were walking silently together he took her hsnd, both trembling ss if they had committed some groat crime. 'Havo you forgiven me!' whispered Colin. 'Ah! Ma- - riette, what have I done that you should be so cruel to me r But she oould onlv answer, 'beat rest. Colin vou shall havo the riband again,. and I will keep the pitcher forever, for I now value it truly since I know it is from you.' 'Ah, marietle, can you doubt.

She looked at bim askance with her beautiful bright eyeaand breathed, 'Dear Colin!' He bent down and kissed her band. With this the dooropencdand Father Jerome stood before them. The young people fell con fused and thoy grasped each other's hands. I know not whether it was the appearance of the noator. or lha ma. Sic of the kiss, but Mariette presented bim the crown, elaid it on her head and pronounced Molemnly, "Little children love one another !" and exhorted tha no. lionlessMarieiteto love Colin, , for from his deafness ha had mistaken the bridegroom's name. Oh! exclaimed Mariette, 'I do love him. I bare loved him long, but he hates me.' 'I 'hate you, Msrietie! My soul has loved you from the first moment vou csme to La Napoule. On, Mariette, how could 1 hope, how could I believe that you loved me, when all La Napoule were at your feet?'

Asther were thus conversing, the old man thought thev were ouarrellinrr. and lavino a hand an aarh. ha said, 'Children, children, love one another.' Alonette sank pn Coitn's bosom; be pressed her In his arms, and the whole world wss forgotten. Colin's lips hung onJVIarielle's. It was only a kiss: bul both, with out knowing it, had followed Father Jerome into the cbspel, and stood belore ihe altar. ' Mariette!' sighed Colin. 'Colin !' aigked ahe. in tho church were many parishioners; and they, with the greatest astonishment, were witnesses to the mar. riage of Colin and Mariette. Tbey ran from tbe church, right and left, through the whole of La Napoule, and cried, "Colin and Marietta are married.' Father Jerome, delighted thai ba had performed his pari of Ihe trick so well, and hsd met wilk so little opposition, led the pair back lo hia house. tltP Or THIS KXTRAORDIltAET STOBT.

' Thia is the work of thai villain Colin,' was her first thought. She hastened to the pastor's house, to inform him of the failure of their plsn, and was met by ths old man, who came out proudly, leading tha newly married couple. Manon's speech forsook her; but Colin stepped for- fl,X!!lDR,llw,n fr'' first love for Mariette, and ran through his whole slory. Minon was ia doubt wbethor she should consider Mariette guilty or innocent. Father Jerome now understood his mietaka; but ha raised his pious hands to Heaven, and exclaimed, ' Won derlul are the ways of Providence." Mother Manon gave Ihe bridal pair her blessing. 'Am I really, then, a wile!' said Mariette 'Colin's wife"- Moiher Manon nodded her head,and Mariette hung on Colin's arm. Then they all wont to Colin'a house. ' See the flowers, Mariette, that I cultivated for you to fill your pitcher!' Culin. who bad liula expected such an evening guoar, bad nothing ready for the supper; but the wedding waa eelebrated Iwo days, snd the joy of the bridegroom can not be described.
